I know many people hate Olight but I have a bunch of them in various sizes. The main reason is price and they all use the same chargers. This is convenient since I basically have a flash light in every vehicle, bag, room etc. While I would love to buy surfires, modlight, cloude defensive etc. I can't afford 10-20 $300 lights. Thr newest one I received is the Arken. It has a green laser and flashlight. It's rectangle in shape. I didn't think I would use the laser feature much but I'm enjoying randomly entertaining my dog with it.

I don't carry a "tacticool" flashlight, just a small one powered by a single AAA battery. I'm a cheap-ass and got a 5-pack for less than $20 on Amazon. I figured they might last 4 or 5 months each and I'd have to replace them, so that's why I got the 5-pack. Well, I've been using the first one for over 21 months now and it still works perfect. I use it multiple times per day.

EDC Flashlight
I had a Fenix PD22UE that was my favorite EDC. Lost it. I don't think they make it anymore. Now I'm looking at the PD25. https://www.fenix-store.com/fenix-pd25-led-flashlight/ Anyone have a similar size & brightness flashlight I should consider before I buy a PD25? Because I don't meet...

I have something similar and use a 750mAh rechargeable battery. I have them in vehicles, nightstands, junk drawer, etc. I probably have 8 of them and bought them at least 4 years ago. Nice bright LED light.

I drink the SureFire Kool aid. I have a small collection spread out in vehicles & around the house.If I was working the renfest I carrued the brightest ones I owned until the next brightest. Telling drunks to behave (before the cop was hired)Blinding them just seemed to get their attention enough to listen to you.
Yes and my answer hasn't changed. I have like 6 of mine that are 20 bucks each. Perform as good or better than an olight or a streamlight and my ass isn't sore when I hit the buy button.
Example the Streamlight Protac 1 AA is 41 dollars only 350 lumens and heavier.
Olight I5r is 38 bucks and also only 350 Lumens
Oh Olight is a CCP company, not that you all actually care ;-)

For 6 years my grand kids stayed with us for weeks, and sometimes months, while the parents were deployed, or TDY.
This was my EDC, and the answer. I had 10+ at any given time. I found them in the tub, dog house, litter box, chicken coop, under car seats, dresser drawers, neighbor's swimming pool. Always turned on and dead. They are water proof, to three feet. No soft touch buttons to chew off, full body rubber outside so they don't leave a mark ( permanent) when you smack your brother. 300 lumens so they don't blind grandma. Cost $14.95, sometimes 2 packs for $19.95. I just checked, I still have 3 left.
Currently, Folomov. 6 hours on one 18650 battery. All my headlamps, and bigass flashlights, have been swapped out for 18650.

Yup most of them are. So I always choose the cheapest one which has been the lumentop aa.
This light is awesome. Been carrying it for about 3 years now. I'm hooked.
They are single function and I don't think there's a 3.7 lithium for it since it's a AAA battery. I used rechargeable AAA in it that I replace with a fresh one every week just in case.
Streamlight Stylus Pro or a Streamlight Micro Stream...

Almost the same....Streamlight Pro-Tac 2L. Switched to rechargeable 18650s and keep the CR123s as emergency spares.
